It's Wednesday, which is my Friday for the week! There's just a few things I've gotta get done before we can leave tomorrow. First of all, and probably most important is packing. Then, I've got to order more cat food, so my sister will have something to feed the little terrors. We might have enough, but I don't want to risk it, especially since Sam is getting fed every time he looks at a bowl.

We'll see what today is like work wise. I'm back up on the inbox, but my primary has a habit of calling out on the days he's supposed to work it. So, I'm going on the assumption that I'll be doing that. If not, I have nothing to do, since markets came in early yesterday and I made sure to get them done. Now, it's just waiting to see what my day is going to be like. If I do have the inbox, it's going to be a pain. There were more than 20 emails remaining when I left, so it should be thoroughly overgrown by 8am. Even if the primary is in, I may try to help out.

We just have to remember to bring all our pills tomorrow. The nighttime pills are in the pill case, but the morning/afternoon pills are loose. And seeing as those are the majority of the crazy pills, we want to make sure we bring them along.

I'm still anxious about going on vacation and leaving my sister with all this stuff to take care of. I know she'll take good care of the babies, but I worry. We're only going to be an hour and a half away, so we can get home pretty quickly if there's a problem, but my anxiety knows no bounds.

I mentioned my all consuming anxiety at my psych appointment, but because of the dizziness, he doesn't want to give me any meds, since they're sedating, and he's afraid it would make the dizziness worse. Instead, I get to set up an appointment for therapy. I mean, I'm sure therapy will be helpful, but it's not going to remove the stressors from my life. I'm still going to have an ancient cat, an ancient and occasionally annoying father and all the rest. The other problem is that right now, I have appointments set up every Friday for the next four weeks, so finding time is going to be difficult.

But, vacation! And D&D on Friday! I have no idea what my players are going to get into this time. I have a few things I can throw at them, but overall, we'll find out on Friday. Now I just need to think up a Friday fact to put on the Discord server. Since the game is very much an action-oriented game (or maybe that's just my DM style) we've doing Friday facts about the characters. I usually come up with a fact about the NPCs, or Non Player Characters. I've been trying to think up a good one, but so far, I'm blank. I'll figure something out, probably last minute.

We have a total of four things we want to do on vacation. Two outlet stores, a Swedish candy store and the good ice cream parlor. Five things, I guess, since we want to go somewhere nice for dinner on Saturday for Jess' birthday.

I found that there's an Old Navy outlet, and a Disney store outlet in Lancaster. I can definitely use more leggings and t-shirts from Old Navy, and Disney just sounds like fun. I don't know that I'm going to get anything, but maybe they'll have something cute. I'm also not opposed to checking out Lane Bryant, but if we don't get there, it's all good.

Time to get myself together for work. Last day for 6 days! We're only in Lancaster til Sunday, but I took Monday and Tuesday off as well. Shame I didn't take the whole week, as next week is our first time back in the office once a week. Ew.

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!
